Description
Link Clear strips tracking parameters from URLs using the bundled ClearURLs
ruleset. It works entirely offline by default: paste or share a link, and get
back the same link with the tracking noise removed.
Three ways to clean a link:
• Share target — share a link to Link Clear from any app. You land on a
confirmation screen showing the cleaned URL with Copy, Share, and Open
actions. With "Automatic action" enabled, the chosen action runs immediately.
• Quick Settings tile — add the "Clean clipboard" tile to your Quick Settings
panel. One tap cleans whatever is on the clipboard, in place.
• In-app editor — open the app for a Paste Clean / Paste Raw editor with a live
before/after diff of exactly what was removed.
Privacy first:
• Offline by default. The cleaning ruleset is bundled, so no network is needed.
• No runtime permissions. Link Clear only acts when you explicitly share, tap
the tile, or paste — it never watches your clipboard in the background.
• Two optional, off-by-default network features: resolving shortened links
(t.co, bit.ly, and similar) before cleaning, and manually refreshing the
bundled ruleset. Neither runs unless you turn it on.

URL-cleaning rules come from the ClearURLs project (LGPL-3.0).
